What do you want to control remotly? If it is the configuration of pms, this could be possible at some point but not now; if it is what is being played on the ps3 it is not possible (the ps3 has to request the content, it can't be triggered by the server).And yes, you can also use pms with xmbc

If you always wanted to have your most recent videos at the top of the folder in the ps3 or wished you could group all videos with the same genre in one folder, have a look at pms-mlx

Let's first define who's responsible for what:The user (you) uses the controller to navigate the menu in the xmb. When a folder is being entered, the ps3 asks pms for its content and shows it. Thus, Sony has to offer a programatical interface on the ps3 where these commands can be sent through to use third party devices (iphone or other). Don't expect this to happen...

To mess things up a bit, this post mentions another way to browse and watch films. It is being done through the web browser of the ps3. The guy even shows an ipad app to start/stop etc films. No release available though...

I've done a remote for android. It requires a patch in PMS (viewtopic.php?f=11&t=8780)The app has some isresues and doesn't work everywhere (it seems like) but works on X10 and desire at least (and the remote feature is the thing that works best). Search for SharkMote...

I think what you're after is a PS3 Remote App for your android phone. This is not currently possible at least not easily, however I notice that in Android v3.0 aka Honeycomb they have implemented the HID bluetooth profile. This means that it will be possible to use your phone as if it were a bluetooth keyboard or more appropriately a sudo ps3 remote control which uses does key mapping to make the PS3 think it's being controlled by a bt keyboard. You'll just have to wait until your phone has a version of Android >= 3.0 and somebody create an app to make use of the HID profile.
